Lowest Cost Electricitynow and laterConvert the gas turbine from an expensive peaker electricity generator to a cost-effective base-load electricity generatorPrepare the way for the molten salt reactor

Gas TurbineCheap and fast to build, highly expensive to operateOCGTs cost ten times more to generate a kiloWATT hour of electricity than a coal or old nuclear base-load electricity generator Open Cycle Gas Turbines (OCGTs) must generate 11,000 British Thermal Units of heat to make a single kiloWATT hour of electricity

Open Cycle Gas TurbineGenerates 11,000 BTUs to make one kWh

Energy Loss of 2% to 4% per 100 km of electricity transmission structureTransport fuel to distributed small modular energy plants at lower costNo local grid inter-dependency Which caused major rolling black-outs in Northeast U.S. in 2003 and in half of India in 2012

Distributed Generation versus Distributed Electricity

Energy GiantRe-Engineers GasTurbines For Base-Load Electricity ProductionEG buys four to six open cycle gas turbines, restoring all their parts to zero hours.EG integrates four (4) energy conversion enhancement sub-systems to operate with the GTs in a 200 MW base-load electricity systemEG operates each 200 MW Power Bridge GT system for ten years as Base-Load (80% availability) and then for a further five years as Peaker (25% availability) electricity generators. EG will equal or exceed internationally recognised air pollution control standards for CCGT operations

Elements and Costs of The LNG Supply Chain

In Most Installation SitesWe Will UtilizeLiquid Petroleum GasInstead ofLiquid Natural Gas

Each 20 Container holds 14 MT of fuel; each 200 MW turbine plant consumes multiple containers per day some 3,250 are needed to run the fuel supply chain of each 200 MW Power Bridge CCGT

Why Use LPG instead of LNG?

First energy conversion Enhancement: Inlet FoggingInlet Fogging cools air before it is compressed and fueled in the gas turbine. In general, fog cooling gives a power boost of about 0.9% for every 10 C of cooling. Fog inter cooling gives a power boost of about 5% for every 1% (of air mass flow) of fog injected. EGs Inlet Fogging implementation will reduce NOx emissions by at least 30%.MeeFog Gas Turbine Inlet Air Fogging systems have been installed on over 60,000 MW of gas turbine capacity. With over 750 systems installed, the power boost from installed MeeFog inlet air fogging systems exceeds 6,000 MW.

Inlet Fogging

Steam Injection - Increase a plants ability to generate extra power without burning extra fuel, using a high strength, thin walled, high temperature nickel alloy Once Through Steam Generator in the hot gas path to provide superheated steam to the gas turbine. Benefits of steam injection include:5% to 25% more power from the base gas turbine2.5% to 15% reduction in base fuel consumptionReduction of NOx emission by reducing flame temperaturesInjects maximum steam when electric prices are highFlexible process (steam injection 50% to 100% load)In 2011, IST had installed 185 Once-Through Steam Generators now operating in 19 countries

STIG

Combined Cycle Steam TurbineThe exhaust of one heat engine is used as the heat source for another thus extracting more useful energy from the heat, increasing the systems overall efficiency. The combined cycle works because heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 50%). The remaining heat (expelled as hot exhaust fumes) from combustion is generally wasted. Combining two or more thermodynamic cycles results in improved overall efficiency, reducing fuel costs. Rolls Royce has installed, for example, combined cycle gas turbines in over 80 countries to date

Combined Cycle

Flow Acceleration Our InnovationThe Flow Acceleration Cycle can be developed with:Input heat temperature of 100150 C (212 302 F)Efficiency increase in the range of 30% 40%Only waste heat from OCGT is used as input in the cycle, thereby growing heat to electricity efficiency of the OCGT by 30% 40 %

Combined Cycle Gas Turbines

EGs Objective:Lowering The Heat Rate

In deploying a $300 million LPG-fueled 200 MW Power Bridge CCGT system at its own expense, EG will charge $0.039 per kWh for procuring and operating the system.This kWh price also includes the procurement and operation of the 3,250 portable fuel tank container supply chain between the LPG refinery and the operating Power Bridge CCGT system.The electricity customer will purchase fuel at market prices, discounted by EGs volume of usage for all Power Bridge Programs.This pricing strategy assures the electricity customer will receive 100% of the benefit of all heat rate reductions EG achieves with its strategies.

Lowering The Heat RateOpen Cycle Gas Turbine:Converting just 39% of the heat generated into electricity the rest is lost to exhaustEG configures to burn Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) instead of natural gas (NG). Results: A 200 MW OCGT burns 38.5 metric tons of NG per hour versus 35.5 metric tons of LPG per hour to get the same result.At $800 per metric ton, this results in $16.8 million higher annual fuel costs with NG than with LPGWith NG the Open Cycle Gas Turbine will use $0.154 per kWh of fuelWith LPG the Open Cycle Gas Turbine will use $0.142 per kWh of fuel

Lowering The Heat RateCombined Cycle Gas Turbine:Converting 57% of the heat generated into electricity -- the rest is lost to exhaustEG configures to burn Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) instead of natural gas (NG). Results: A 200 MW CCGT burns 26.3 metric tons of NG per hour versus 26.3 metric tons of LPG per hour to get the same result.At $800 per metric ton, this results in $11.2 million higher annual fuel costs with NG than with LPGWith NG the Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.105 per kWh of fuelWith LPG the Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.097 per kWh of fuel

Lowering The Heat RateCombined Cycle Gas Turbine with Additional Enhancement Plus 1:If we can convert 65% of the heat generated into electricity, losing the rest to exhaustEG configures to burn Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) instead of natural gas (NG). Results: A 200 MW OCGT burns 23.1 metric tons of NG per hour versus 21.3 metric tons of LPG per hour to get the same result.At $800 per metric ton, this results in $10.1 million higher annual fuel costs with NG than with LPGWith NG the Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.0924 per kWh of fuelWith LPG Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.0852 per kWh of fuel

Results: A 200 MW OCGT burns 20 metric tons of NG per hour versus 18.5 metric tons of LPG per hour to get the same result.At $800 per metric ton, this results in $6.67 million higher annual fuel costs with NG than with LPGWith NG the Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.07985 per kWh of fuelWith LPG Power Bridge CCGT system will use $0.0738 per kWh of fuel

NGC (NOW VECTOR) AND TRANSALTA NEW ZEALAND (TANZ)Feb 02 to May 03 Asset Manager - Generation. As a result of an internal restructure, this position was created to provide asset management services in support of the four generating plants managed by NGC. Responsible for the development of asset management plans, asset performance monitoring, heat engines of GT replacements, upgrades, and maintenance contracts . During this period there were two insurance claims for machinery breakdowns on two different machines. Both were successfully resolved and settled promptly with the insurance companies concerned.Feb 01 to Feb 02 Manager Projects and Engineering - Generation. Responsible for managing the supply of engineering and project management services to the generation section of NGC who had bought out and absorbed TransAlta NZ in late 2000. Projects included the supply and installation of new transformers at Cobb Power Station ($3M) and the first C inspection (major overhaul) at the 360 MW Taranaki Combined Cycle Power Plant ($12M). During the C inspection Lindsay was also acting plant manager for the full duration of the outage. Engineering activities included investigation of power augmentation options for the CCGT plants, analysis of upgrade options for Cobb; creation and imulation of a new offer model for Cobb.
